Perez Iverson Claveria belongs to a well-known Claveria family, tied to the very name of their province. Growing up, he's got everything he wants, he needs... but growing up too, he realizes not everything he gets. Kasi gusto niya ng girlfriend pero tila ba ilag sa kanya ang mga babae sa lugar nila. Every meet up is a fail. Either siya yung hindi gusto o siya yung walang gusto. Pihikan. Pero pangit naman. He lacks something in the physical department according to some people. Walang dating. Boring. He's too normal and basic compared to his cousins. But then meeting Lianna Lou Arenas changed that whole game for him. Alam niyang wala siyang pag-asa. Pero ano ngayon? There's no way in hell he's backing out without a fight! E siya yung kausap e! Siya yung chinat! He can feel his legs shaking, his tongue numbing, because even with his family's background, even if he's a Claveria... walang kapantay iyon pagdating sa babaeng unang beses niyang ayaw sukuan. He has girls that he likes... but Lianna... she's someone he's not willing to let go. No fucking way. Even if it turns out to be all lies. Kasi hindi pala si Lianna yung kachat niya. It's a different girl. And the teas of Claveria begins.

Started: 04/27/2021 Ended: 08/24/2021 Ang hirap palang tumanda. Ang hirap magbayad ng bills. Ang hirap suportahan ng pamilyang akala ay isang milyon ang suweldo mo. Ang hirap ngumiti sa nanay na mataas ang tingin sa'yo pero hindi ka kayang ipagtanggol. Ang hirap tabihan sa hapagkainan ng tatay na pinag-uubusan mo ng pera pero hindi ka maalala. Ang hirap mag-abot ng tulong sa kapatid na baon sa utang. Ang hirap intindihin ng hipag na nakakapagpa-rebond pa kahit kapos na kapos na. Ang hirap pakisamahan ng bunsong halos ilahad ang mga palad tuwing makikita ka. Ang hirap ngitian ng mga taong tanong nang tanong kung bakit hindi ka pa nakakapag-asawa. Ang hirap humarap sa mundong isasampal sa'yo na mag-isa ka. Tulong, bigay, utang. Isang iling mo lang, madamot ka na. Kasama mo sila kapag may maibibigay ka, pero hindi mo sila mahahanap kapag wala na. Ikaw ang kakayod, sila ang tutuka. Ikaw ang iiyak sa pagod, sila ang magtatamasa. Iyon ang summary ng buhay ko. Sobra-sobra ang naririnig na paghingi, kulang na kulang ang naririnig na pasasalamat. Sobra-sobra ang pagpapasensya, kulang na kulang ang natatanggap na pagpapahalaga. Sobra-sobra ang binabayaran, kulang na kulang sa kasiyahan. Kaya nang dumating sa buhay ko ang nag-iisang lalaking hindi ako nakita bilang naglalakad na alkansya, ang nag-iisang lalaking nakinig sa mahabang listahan ko ng problema, ang nag-iisang lalaking nagbigay sa akin ng kakaibang saya, ipinangako ko sa sarili na sa gitna ng hirap ng pagtanda, magtitiis ako basta't siya ang kasama. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay pagtalikod sa minahal na pamilya. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay paglaban sa mundong pinatatakbo ng kapangyarihan at pera. Kahit pa ang kapalit noon ay ang pagdurusa't pag-iisa. Siya ang ginhawa, pahinga, at kasiyahan ko. Dumating man ang araw na tanaw ko na ang dulo. Dumating man ang araw na wala na kaming sagot sa lahat ng bakit at paano. Dumating man ang araw na pareho na kaming talo.
